AKB48 Janken Tournament Winner To Make Solo Debut

AKB48 will hold a Janken Tournament this year as well, on September 17. This will be the fifth Janken tournament for AKB48 but this time there is a new reward: the tournament winner will make a solo debut! If a member wins who already debuted as solo act she will get a solo concert in addition to the new solo single.

Those who rank #2~#16 at the tournament will participate in the winner single's coupling songs and the respective music videos.

The preliminary rounds for the tournament will be held on August 8 during the AKB48 Natsu Matsuri (summer festival) and the tournament pairings will be determined during a handshake event on the following day.
